Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 77: Vegetables and sea fish and rabbit meat

I didn't have to cook anymore, but I didn't have any food after all, so I went shopping with the girls. Hephaestus was also going to the Blacksmith's Guild to gather tools for blacksmithing, so I decided to guide him.

We dropped Hephaestus off at the Blacksmith's Guild and started shopping.

The first place we found was a grocery store. A young woman was working as a shopkeeper.

"Welcome. Can I get you anything?"

"Yes. I'd like to see some of your vegetables"

"I'm sorry, but we don't have much variety right now. All we have are potatoes and carrots"

I'll appraise them.

Potato: Rarity 2 Ingredient Item Quality E-

A perennial plant of the Solanaceae family. As a type of potato, it is eaten as food.

The skin layer, buds and fruit are poisonous, so be careful.

Potatoes are famous for their poison. I've heard that it's not very toxic, but it's a food that needs to be peeled and boiled thoroughly. I've never heard of the Solanaceae family.

Carrot: Rarity 2 Ingredient Item Quality E-

A biennial herb of the Apiaceae family. The roots are the main part of the plant, but the leaves can also be eaten.

Carrots are mostly eaten for their roots, but their leaves are also eaten as tempura. Apparently they can be eaten in this game too and if I can get my hands on some oil, I'd like to try making them.

Potatoes and carrots...I could make curry, but I don't have any spices. But potatoes and carrots are versatile ingredients. It's worth the effort.

"Then, six potatoes and carrots, please"

"Thank you. That'll be 600G"

50G each. That's cheap. I could have bought more, but we're more carnivorous. I'm wondering what Setia is going to make, but to be honest, I haven't decided yet. I do have a few things I'd like to make, though.

The next place we found was the butcher shop that Lily was waiting for. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man.

"Hello! Are you looking for some meat?"

"Yes. Can I see what kind of meat you have?"

"Sure! Take your time!"

The butcher had boar meat, rabbit meat and lamb. I tried to evaluate them.

Rabbit Meat: Rarity 2 Ingredient Item Quality E-

Meat from rabbit. It has a strong scent of blood and is surprisingly sweet.

Lamb Meat: Rarity 3 Ingredient Item Quality D-

Meat from sheep. The meat is soft and has no peculiar taste.

Umm. This is the first time the quality is D. It's a lock-on. Of course, the price is astonishing.

A piece of boar meat cost 10G, rabbit meat 500G and lamb meat 1000G.

That's the kind of meat that is famous for Genghis Khan in real life. And although rabbit meat is not well known, it does exist. When I was working part-time at a yakiniku restaurant, the manager talked about it passionately.

He said that rabbit meat was used for sukiyaki when beef was not available. He said that rabbit meat had no odor, tasted better than chicken, was tender and very tasty.

Since I couldn't afford lamb, I decided to buy rabbit meat.

"Please give me 6 rabbit meats"

"Thank you, 3,000G"

I've never cooked rabbit meat before and Lily seems to be looking forward to it even more than I am. I try to leave early, but Ion is staring at me. I've only got no fish. No wonder she's angry.

So we ended up at a fish shop. The manager was a young guy.

"Welcome! I have some fresh fish"

"What kind of fish do you have?"

"Herring and scorpionfish"

What!?

"Is there a sea nearby?"

"Oh! You can tell a sea fish by its name, can't you? Big brother. That's right, go through the north gate and you'll come to the sea"

We have no choice but to go there, but the problem is that we don't have much underwater strength. I'll appraise it for now"

Herring: Rarity 3 Ingredient Item Quality D-

This is a small saltwater fish, also known as spring confession.

Scorpionfish: Rarity 3 Ingredient Item Quality D-

A root fish that lives in the reef zone of the sea. The fish's body is characterized by its brownish color with white spots.

Herring is a small fish, but it is famous for its roe. This is made from herring eggs. Herring itself is probably best known for its use in New Year's kobu rolls. It is also sometimes dried and cooked as a preserved food.

It is misunderstood that scorpionfish are poisonous, but the scorpionfish itself is not poisonous just because it is a member of the hairy stingfish. The best way to cook scorpion fish is sashimi and miso soup. It makes a nice soup stock and is very tasty. It's a shame that I can't make miso soup now.

When I asked the price of the fish, it was 500g for herring and 300g for scorpionfish. I decided to buy a herring.

"Two herring, please"

"Thanks a lot! Its 1000G"

In this way, the securing of ingredients was completed. Did it cost 4600G...after all, it's basically self-sufficient. But the fact that there is rabbit meat, lamb meat and the sea is important. It's also a great way to improve my appraisal skill and I don't regret it.

Now, back to the store and let's cook. Except for the contest, this was my first time cooking vegetables. Let's get into it.

First, boil the potatoes with the skin on. Then mash them while they are still hot. While the mash is cooling, cut the carrots into chunks and add them to the mash. Finally, add salt to taste. Normally, I would add mayonnaise, but I don't have any, so this is it. Potato salad.

I also made grilled rabbit meat and grilled herring. Here's the finished product!

Potato Salad: Rarity 3 Cooking Quality E

Effect: 30% fullness recovery, 1 hour magic power up (medium)

A vegetable dish made from mashed potatoes.

It also contains carrots and you can enjoy the texture.

Grilled Rabbit Meat: Rarity 4 Cooking Quality E

Effect: 35% fullness recovery, 2 hours strength up (medium)

A meat dish made from rabbit meat seasoned with salt and grilled.

It is well drained of blood and is very tasty.

Grilled Herring with Salt: Rarity 4 Cooking Quality E

Effect: 35% fullness recovery, 2 hours agility up (medium)

A fish dish made by seasoning herring with salt and baking it.

Here's where my cooking skill levels up. Then we try it.

"""Delicious!"""

The three girls looked very satisfied. Hephaestus was also satisfied.

"It's delicious. I feel like I'm being punished for eating all this delicious food"

That's an exaggeration. I'll treat the other summoned beasts later.

Author note:

I chose potato salad because I thought about what would taste good with only salt and potato salad was what came up. I think potato salad is tasty enough without mayonnaise.

Next time, Ion makes a request to Takuto. Please look forward to it.
